Title 24 Lighting Controls, Designed for Acceptance
Wattstopper, Lutron, nLight — installed, programmed, certified, and trained on. From a single-zone retrofit to a campus-wide tunable-white conversion.
Project Profile
Common ranges for a Bay Area lighting-controls scope. Exact numbers confirmed in your written bid.
What & Why
Controls that pass acceptance the first time.
Title 24 acceptance testing is where many lighting projects discover the bid was wrong — wrong driver, wrong sensor placement, wrong time-clock zone. The fixture vendor blames the controls vendor, the controls vendor blames the EC, and the GC inherits the schedule slip.
We bid controls scopes from a field survey, submit drivers verified for compatibility, and bring the certified acceptance test agent on the team — not on speed-dial.
Scope of Work
Six work phases, every controls scope.
Existing System Audit
Field survey of existing fixtures, drivers, panels, and any legacy controls. Inventory submitted with the bid so retrofit cost is real, not guessed.
Submittal & Coordination
Controls submittal package, driver compatibility verified, panel layout coordinated with the lighting designer, change orders flagged before the rough-in starts.
Rough-In & Device Install
Sensors, wall stations, and panel installation per the floor plan. Class 2 cabling routed in dedicated raceway, properly separated from line voltage.
Programming
Zone definitions, scene-control logic, time-clock schedules, daylight setpoints, vacancy-sensor sensitivity — programmed and tested zone-by-zone.
Title 24 Acceptance Test
Certified CALCTP or NEMA technician runs the acceptance test, findings closed out on the spot, signed certificate delivered for the closeout packet.
Owner Training
Walk-through with facilities — scene override, time-clock adjustments, sensor recalibration, and how to reach the manufacturer support line.
Closeout Deliverables
What the facility team walks away with.
Four documents, packaged for the building file and the energy-compliance report.
Permit Card
Pulled under our C-10 license, final signed off.
Title 24 Certificate
Signed acceptance-test certificate by the certified agent.
Programming Sheets
Zone, scene, time-clock, and sensor configuration record.
Warranty Letters
Workmanship + manufacturer warranties on installed gear.
Project Tiers
Three typical controls bands.
Each scope gets a fixed written quote tied to your fixture schedule and your controls spec.
Single-Zone Retrofit
Under 5,000 sqft
3 – 5 weeks
Wireless overlay or in-fixture retrofit, occupancy-only or basic time-clock control. Minimal panel work, single commissioning visit.
Multi-Zone Upgrade
5,000 – 20,000 sqft
5 – 8 weeks
Full Title 24 controls — occupancy, daylight, scheduled time-clock, multiple scenes — across several rooms or zones. Certified acceptance test required.
Campus Conversion
20,000 sqft+
8 – 16 weeks
Building-wide controls overhaul, tunable-white scopes, BACnet or BMS integration, multi-day commissioning, phased acceptance testing.
Certified acceptance testing, manufacturer commissioning visits, and tunable-white driver upgrades are passed through at cost and itemized on the bid.
